Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Moving Target movie
Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …
Cars-animated movie
Disney can still make good movies, if they put their mind to it. I didn’t expect much went I to see “Cars”; I thought I would be treated to good animation (with the today’s technology, there is no excuse for bad one), some cute characters and some ugly ones, …
Poltergeist - Supernatural Horror Movie (2015)
As far as horror movies go, Poltergeist is not a movie I’m planning to watch again. It’s a remake of the 1982 movie, Poltergeist, and from what I hear, the original is way better. Although I watched this in 3D in theaters, there were very few scares to boast of …
The Last King of Scotland (movie)
The Last King of Scotland was possibly the first movie that I had seen the Scottish actor James McAvoy in where I began to take him seriously. I remember that when I first watched it, I didn’t have a clue what it was going to be about and so …
Happy Feet Movie
I had heard this so much about this small penguin and having in my brain the popular saying “where there are a lot of cherries hold a small basket”, I was little circumspect with the particular animation movie. Also, I believed that after “Searching for Nemo” hardly another animation …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …

As a rule, I love disaster movies. I’ve watched a bunch, and many of them are on my favorite movies list. I was therefore eager to see this movie when it first came out. I remember being a little disappointed in the action. Recently, I …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Powder Movie
“Powder” is one of the worth watching movies I ever watched. The story is very emotional and sensational. Direction, Cast and crew and the other supports have done their duty well.

Gabriel
I’ve first known of the movie Gabriel after I saw my aunt watching it. I asked her what’s the movie she’s watching and what is it all about. Since she was not accustomed to telling tales, she answered me directly with, “The angel Gabriel of course.”

G.I. Jane Movie
In what could probably be described as her “Showgirls” come back, Demi Moore stars as Jordan O’Neill, a naval sergeant who becomes the test subject of female allowance into the elite Navy Seals program.
This excellent action-drama is one of Moore’s best performances, in my opinion. As O’Neill, she struggles …

The Night They Took Miss Beautiful movie
From 1977, this is a B-movie, if that, that takes beauty pageants and makes a joke out of them. The movie is called The Night They Took Miss Beautiful and stars some very recognizable names, such as Chuck Conners as Mike O’Toole, the head of the airport from …
The Good Shepherd Movie
The Good Shepherd,directed by Robert De Niro, presents the history of the Central Intelligence Agency through the events of one CIA agent, Edward Wilson. While the idea behind this film seems worthy, I found it, at 167 minutes, to be a tedious mess.
This is De Niro’s first official …

Holiday in Handcuffs (2007 Film)
“Holiday in Handcuffs” was a 2007 film that, while it was festive for the holiday season, it did not really wow me as I had hoped that it would. I don’t want to say that this film was a complete dud, and that I didn’t enjoy watching it, it …
